Isaiah 21:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ My mind reels, horror has appalled me;
    the twilight I longed for
    has been turned for me into trembling.
⁵ They prepare the table,
    they spread the rugs,
    they eat, they drink.
Rise up, commanders,
    oil the shield!
⁶ For thus the Lord said to me:
“Go, post a lookout,
    let him announce what he sees.
